Thank you very much for hosting me at the cottage on Long Lake in Traverse City! The kitchen and bathroom are brand new and the decor is very nice throughout the cottage.

We enjoyed all it had to offer: the outdoor patio area, the fire pit by the water in the evening for smore's, and the water gear (paddleboat and stand up kayak). The host was more than accommodating to our needs and had a sweet treat upon our arrival. Besides our fabulous stay, we left forming new friendships that we hope continue to flourish. ##### Rachel s.

The stand up paddle board, kayaks and paddle boat were great for enjoying the lake. The fire pit was perfect for making s’mores and enjoying the sunset. And the Weber grill was perfect for making burgers and ribs. Highly recommend! ##### Jonathon L.

Owners were very responsive to my questions prior to arrival. Very easy check-in/out process. Will definitely recommend this place to others and hopefully be back in the future! ##### Abby M.

The bed was super comfortable and the living spaces spacious and well-appointed. Windows everywhere provided lovely views of Long Lake and there are so many cozy corners to curl up in and enjoy the view and the sounds of lake life. The hosts were kind and hospitable without being intrusive. We had everything we needed in the cottage and the hosts provided wonderful tips for the local farmers market and even a neighborhood walking path. They are super responsive too which is always helpful when you have a question! After a few days back at home, I find myself dreaming each morning of that first sip of coffee as the sun rises over the lake and all the birds start to stir. We fell completely in love with the whole area and can’t wait to go back! ##### Amber Dawn W. Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim P., Brighton 13 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and nice property. The lakehouse is a converted 1950 (?) trailer and is super cute. You'll need to bring a couple of kitchen items (cutting board, smaller baking sheet, extra plates/cups) as well as additional towels as there is no washer/dryer and we used the towels really quickly. The beds are super comfy. Jason and Suzy are very friendly and attentive. The beach was very small due to high water levels and it inhibited us from having a fire as the waves crashed up all day leading to a wet fire pit so if that is a must for you be aware. The lake and swimming area are gorgeous. It is a beautiful location and would highly recommend this property. ##### Kim P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Toes in the sand, Hiddem gem! We could go on and on, so we’ll start with this: the family is wonderful. They live in the back house on the property, cottage is right on the waterfront. There was a few minor things that had to be addressed but those were taken care of right away by Jason and Susie. The cottage is exactly as described and we had a wonderful time. We had family and friends come and go visiting us, enjoyed many fire pit nights, beautiful sunrises drinking coffee on the beach, bbq’s, played cornhole, paddle boarded and kayaked around the quiet inlet on the Peninsula where the cottage is located. The covered patio was an awesome place to eat dinners and play cards. Henrick, their son rents out their pontoon boats and jet skis for use right there. Literally everything you need to enjoy Lake Life. Grocery stores, Moomers ice cream and downtown TC are all within 15 minute drive. We stayed there for just under a month so we truly got the full experience and the knowledge of the area. Susie and I became fast friends that will last a lifetime. I already miss her ❤️ I recommended my family stay in the cottage next year because of our daughter getting married up in Traverse City and they already booked it. The only thing I would recommend is to bring a few extra bath towels. Steps from the lake, this cottage will not disappoint. It’s not fancy, but met all our needs and would most definitely come back again! Marc and Denise (the Bakers) ❤️ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 22 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jake M. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Long Lake Getaway Amazing location right on Long Lake. The hosts are nice enough to allow you to borrow their small boats. We had a great time kayaking and peddle boating around the lake. The location is also great for drives to traverse, the dunes, etc. Unfortunately, the bedrooms were a little smaller than anticipated (have to squeeze by in the queen bed room). And, more pressing, the water smelled metallic. I don’t know if it’s too much iron, but it smelled like you just handled Pennies every time you washed your hands. There was some staining on the shower curtain that was orange, and I think that may be due to the water. Since you have to bring your own towels, make sure they are ones you don’t care about because they might stain (like some of our rags did). Still had a good time and the hosts responded quickly to our questions. So, overall it was a good stay and good experience. ##### Jake M.

Suzy gave us great recommendations on places to try and things to do and even surprised us with some local treats! She was very responsive. The cottage was clean and exactly as advertised.
